Don't Be Satisfied With Being Saved

God didn’t call us to get people saved. He called us to make disciples. Saved people want parables. Disciples want to hear from God, and to complete their divine assignments. (Purpose). We have an assignment. The gist of our assignment is to go into all the world and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s not to preach about prosperity, it’s not to preach about gloom and doom, it’s to preach, teach, speak about the love of Jesus Christ, and about how God sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to save us. John 3:16. Now the way we are to get it done, depends on our individual assignment from God. Before we entered our mother’s womb, before we took on flesh, God spent time with us, in the spirit realm, telling us about our purpose/assignment. Jeremiah 1:5. When we leave the womb and enter the world, the life we are brought up in will determine how far away from purpose we may get. If we are brought up developing a relationship with God, then we shouldn’t be too far off purpose. However, if we were brought up without being taught any knowledge of God, then we may have a little farther to go, unless, God gives us a “Road to Damascus” experience, as he did Saul. Acts 9:2-19. But the beauty of it is that we don’t have to figure it out. All we have to do is reconcile with the One who gave us our assignment in the first place. He has the assignment, and the way to get it done. Just follow Him. After all, that’s the whole reason God sent His only begotten Son. It was to reconcile us back to Him. He loves us immensely and He wants us reconciled to Him. And not only that, but He has given us the ministry of reconciliation, so we can help others find their way back to Him, as well. 2 Cor. 5:18. We keep building big churches, thinking we are accomplishing the assignment. God’s plan was never to build big churches. His plan was that we should become the church. I am not sure when we started thinking that our job is to get people to church. If you’ve been in a decent church more than three years, you should be well able to tell others about the love of Christ. We become so complacent that we feel we have done our part if we attend church on Sundays and invite others to attend. We actually think that by doing these two things, we have fulfilled the great commission of God. I think not. The army of the Lord will NOT be a bunch of preachers getting together in a meeting. That is not changing the world. It only pacifies the saints. If we ever figure out who we are and the power we possess, we wouldn’t attend church trying to get something we already have. Now I am NOT advocating that people shouldn’t go to church. I am just saying that going to church does not satisfy the commission from God. The Kingdom of God is in us. Wherever we are, wherever we go, whatever we do . . . the Kingdom of God is in us. Why? To accomplish the purpose of God for our lives. We are all born with a purpose. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, (Rom 14:17) not a pulpit message. Wherever God sends us, we are to be representatives of the Kingdom. We were sent to be salt and light (Matt 5:13,14) to make the crooked places straight, to bring mountains low,(Isa 45:2; 40:4), to share the love of God, to tell others about the sacrifice of Christ, to change the world . . . one person at a time. We have a specific mandate to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15. God wishes above all that none would perish. He wants us all saved. 2 Peter 3:9. We are God’s building. I Cor. 3:9. We are His representatives, His vessels of honor, His witnesses. We are here for a purpose. Let’s get it done!
